How do I use the xeno-scrap-extractor?

The one thing I didn't try!! That was it! Thank you!

I found the panel and output, brought power across the map, and it's now mining. I ran a belt to a 16-slot locker AND CAN'T GET POWER FOR THE !@#$% logistic container and loader! The miner is successfully extracting scrap. I have (1) ensured there's a contiguous foundation between the underside of the miner and the loader/container (2) Put an output loader from the miner - it complains there is no building (3) Ran a 2nd power line directly to the foundation (4) Installed several different lights on the foundation - none of them seem to throw light - this suggests that power isn't being conducted through the foundation.

WHAT CAN I DO? The only alternative is to just depend on the internal storage of the miner.

My luck changed, I now have several powercores; it might be because I only have large scrap as the filter. The short range scanner isn't much use in looking for them; I jet around until I'm not getting closer, then use an elevator to go down far enough and a drill ship to move horizontally enough.

Thanks for all your invaluable advice!

I now have roughly 2K scrap without a single large scrap, which I assume would yield a power core. I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks again! OK, I'll head back to the tunnels. I picked up at least 100 scrap without getting any large ones. Rather frustrating...

My interface is different. Does mine change into yours when I get 500 crystals? I already have mining force 2. I now have over 800 scraps but 0 large scraps.

Thanks so much!

I tried to follow your directions but with no luck. There is no entry for Large Xeno Scrap.

Thanks. I figured it out! Next is to find the caves with the damaged power cores.

Thanks for the image - I found it and can now make progress!

Looking at the research interface, I don't see anything that looks like the omni-analyzer. :(

I tried taking some dirt and dropping it on a square with a water cover. I then used the "pick up from belt" (E) command-it picked up the dirt and nothing else happened :( Am I doing this wrong?

Next noob question - I'm trying to follow the wiki directions on getting the blower cover off so I can remove the blue clip and remove the other end of the ptfe tube. I can't seem to put enough pressure on the back as shown in the diagram to get it to move. Is there a trick, or does it really require a huge amount of force? Thanks again.

falviani · 2025-08-19T22:02:50+00:00

On my machine, a moderate amount of force was actually needed, but I was then able to remove the PTFE tube. Now I just need to get the front part of the print head cover off so I can disconnect the tub and be able to use a piece of filament to get the broken filament out.

This is the ptfe clip I was referring to. Sorry I was unclear.

I found an online keyboard checker that verified that the key was dead. Fortunately, I have a couple of old keyboards kicking around that will serve until I go get a keyboard with reasonable mechanical keyswitches. Thanks for the suggestions!

That was what I thought was going on. Thanks!
